Handling Precautions
Camera Care
zz This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to
physical shock.
zz The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater.
zz To maximize the camera’s dust- and drip- resistance, keep the terminal
cover, battery compartment cover, card slot cover, and all other covers
firmly closed.
zz This camera is designed to be dust- and drip- resistant, in order to help
prevent sand, dust, dirt, or water that falls on it unexpectedly from getting
inside, but it is impossible to prevent dirt, dust, water, or salt from getting
inside at all. As far as possible, do not allow dirt, dust, water, or salt to get
on the camera.
zz If water gets on the camera, wipe it off with a dry and clean cloth. If dirt,
dust, or salt gets on the camera, wipe it off with a clean, well-wrung wet
cloth.
zz Using the camera in a location with large amounts of dirt or dust may
cause a malfunction.
zz Cleaning the camera after use is recommended. Allowing dirt, dust, water,
or salt to remain on the camera may cause a malfunction.
zz If you accidentally drop the camera into water or are concerned that
moisture (water), dirt, dust, or salt may have gotten inside it, promptly
consult the nearest Canon Service Center.
zz Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field
such as a magnet or electric motor. Also, avoid using or leaving the
camera near anything emitting strong radio waves, such as a large
antenna. Strong magnetic fields can cause camera malfunction or destroy
image data.
zz Do not leave the camera in excessive heat, such as in a car in direct
sunlight. High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.
zz The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to
disassemble the camera yourself.
28
zz Do not block shutter curtain operation with your finger or other objects.
Doing so may cause a malfunction.
zz Use only a commercially available blower to blow away dust when it
adheres to the lens, viewfinder, etc. Do not use cleaners that contain
organic solvents to clean the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take
the camera to the nearest Canon Service Center.
zz Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your fingers. This is
to prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause
camera malfunction.
zz If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room,
condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent
condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust
to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
zz If condensation forms on the camera, to avoid damage, do not use the
camera or remove the lens, card, or battery.
Turn the camera off and wait until the moisture has fully evaporated
before resuming use.
Even after the camera is completely dry, if it is still internally cold, do not
remove the lens, card, or battery until the camera has adjusted to the
ambient temperature.
zz If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery
and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while
the camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a
while to check that the camera is still working.
zz Avoid storing the camera where there are chemicals that result in rust
and corrosion such as in a chemical lab.
zz If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its
functions before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time
or if there is an important shoot such as a foreign trip coming up, have
the camera checked by your nearest Canon Service Center or check the
camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.
zz The camera may become hot after repeated continuous shooting or still
photo/movie shooting over an extended period. This is not a malfunction.
zz If there is a bright light source inside or outside the image area, ghosting
may occur.
29
Screen and Viewfinder

zz Although the screen and viewfinder are manufactured with very high
precision technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, 0.01% or fewer
of the pixels may be dead, and there may also be spots of black, red,
or other colors. This is not a malfunction. They do not affect the images
recorded.
zz If the screen is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur
where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only
temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few
days.
zz The screen display may seem slightly slow in low temperatures or
may look black in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room
temperature.
Cards
To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:
zz Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,
physical shock, or vibration.
zz Do not touch the card’s electronic contacts with your fingers or anything
metallic.
zz Do not affix any stickers, etc. on the card.
zz Do not store or use the card near anything that has a strong magnetic
field, such as a television, speakers, or magnets. Also avoid places prone
to having static electricity.
zz Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
zz Store the card in a case.
zz Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
Lens
zz After detaching the lens from the camera, put down
(1)
the lens with the rear end up and attach the rear lens
cap to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical
contacts (1).

gg When the battery is fully recharged, the
full-charge lamp (2) will light up in green.
zz It takes approx. 2 hr. to fully charge
a completely exhausted battery at
room temperature (23°C / 73°F). The
time required to charge the battery will
vary greatly depending on the ambient
temperature and the battery’s remaining
capacity.
zz For safety reasons, charging in low
temperatures (5–10°C / 41–50°F) will
take longer (up to approx. 4 hr.).
40
Charging the Battery
zzUpon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.

Charge the battery before use.
zzCharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be
used.
Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually drain and lose its
capacity.
zzAfter charging the battery, remove it and disconnect the
charger from the power outlet.
zzWhen not using the camera, remove the battery.
If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount
of power current will keep being released, resulting in excess discharge
and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover
attached. Storing the battery when it is fully charged may lower the
battery performance.
zzThe battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.
The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz
power source. If necessary, attach a commercially available plug adapter
for the respective country or region. Do not attach any portable voltage
transformer to the battery charger. Doing so may damage the battery
charger.
zzIf the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after having
been fully charged, the battery has reached the end of its
service life.
Check the battery’s recharge performance (=381) and purchase a new
battery.
oo After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for
approx. 5 sec.
oo The provided charger cannot charge any battery other than Battery Pack LP-

Fully Automatic Shooting (Scene Intelligent Auto)
Minimizing Blurred Photos

zz Use a sturdy tripod that can bear the weight of the shooting equipment.
Mount the camera securely on the tripod.
zz Using a remote switch (sold separately, =219) or a wireless remote
control (sold separately, =217) is recommended.
FAQ
zzFocusing is not possible (indicated by an orange AF point).
Aim the AF point over an area with good contrast, then press the shutter
button halfway (=54). If you are too close to the subject, move away
and shoot again.
zzMultiple AF points are displayed simultaneously.
If multiple AF points are displayed simultaneously, all of these positions
are in focus. As long as one AF point is displayed on the subject, you can
take the picture.
zzPressing the shutter button halfway does not focus the
subject.
If the focus mode switch on the lens is set to <MF> (manual focus), set it
to <AF> (autofocus).
zzThe shutter speed display is blinking.
Since it is too dark, taking the picture may result in a blurred subject due
to camera shake. Using a tripod or a Canon EL/EX series Speedlite (sold
separately, =220) is recommended.
zzWhen the external flash was used, the bottom part of the
picture came out unnaturally dark.
If a hood is attached to the lens, it may obstruct the flash light. If the
subject is close, detach the hood before taking the picture with flash.

Recomposing the Shot
Depending on the scene, positioning the subject toward the left or right
to include a balanced background will result in a picture with better
perspective.
Pressing the shutter button halfway to focus on a still subject will lock the
focus on that subject. Recompose the shot while keeping the shutter button
pressed halfway, and then press the shutter button completely to take the
picture. This is called “focus lock”.
Shooting a Moving Subject
After you press the shutter button halfway and a blue AF point appears, the
camera detects subject movement and focuses using Servo AF. Keep the
subject on the screen as you hold down the shutter button halfway, and at
the decisive moment, press the shutter button completely.
If you prefer to shoot with One-Shot AF, set [z: A Auto servo] to
[Disable].

Shooting Portraits
The <2> (Portrait) mode blurs the background to make the human subject
stand out. It also makes skin tones and hair look softer.
Shooting Tips
zzSelect the location where the distance between the subject
and the background is the farthest.
The further the distance between the subject and background, the more
blurred the background will look. The subject will also stand out better
against an uncluttered dark background.
zzUse a telephoto lens.
If you have a zoom lens, use the telephoto end to fill the frame with the
subject from the waist up.
zzFocus on the face.
As you focus, make sure the AF point on the face is lit in green before
you shoot. When shooting close-ups of the face, you can set [z: Eye
Detection AF] to [Enable] to shoot with the subject’s eyes in focus.
oo The default setting is (Low-speed continuous shooting). If you keep

holding down the shutter button, you can shoot continuously to capture
changes in the subject’s facial expression and pose.
77
Shooting Group Photos
Use the <q> (Group Photo) mode to shoot group photos. You can take a
picture in which both the people in the front and people in the back are all in
focus.
Shooting Tips
zzUse a wide-angle lens.
When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to make it easy to get
all the people in the group in focus at once, from the front row to the back.
Also, if you place a little distance between the camera and the subjects (so
that the subjects’ entire bodies are in the shot), the focus range increases
in depth.
zzTake multiple shots of the group.
It is recommended to shoot multiple photos in case some people close
their eyes.
oo When shooting indoors or in low-light, hold the camera steady or use a tripod
to prevent camera shake.
78
Shooting Landscapes
Use the <3> (Landscape) mode for expansive scenery or to have
everything in focus from near to far. For vivid blues and greens, and very
sharp and crisp images.
Shooting Tips
zzWith a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end.
When using a zoom lens, set the lens to the wide-angle end to make the
objects near and far in focus. It also adds breadth to landscapes.
zzShooting night scenes.
Shooting with <3> while handholding the camera may cause camera
shake. Using a tripod is recommended.
79
Shooting Moving Subjects
Use the <5> (Sports) mode to shoot a moving subject, such as a running
person or a moving vehicle.
(1)
Shooting Tips
zzUse a telephoto lens.
Use of a telephoto lens is recommended to enable shooting from a
distance.
zzTrack the subject with the Area AF frame.
By default, [z: AF method] is set to [u+Tracking]. An Area AF frame (1)
appears when you press the shutter button halfway. Once the subject is
in focus, the AF point turns blue.
zzShoot continuously.
The default setting is [o] (High-speed continuous shooting). At the
decisive moment, press the shutter button completely to take the shot. To
track the subject and capture changes as it moves, keep holding down
the shutter button to shoot continuously.
80
Photographing Children
To photograph the children running around, use <C> (Kids). Skin tones will
look healthy.
(1)
Shooting Tips
zzTrack the subject with the Area AF frame.
By default, [z: AF method] is set to [u+Tracking]. An Area AF frame (1)
appears when you press the shutter button halfway. Once the subject is
in focus, the AF point turns blue.
zzShoot continuously.
The default setting is [o] (High-speed continuous shooting). At the
decisive moment, press the shutter button completely to take the shot.
To track the subject and capture changes in facial expression and
movement, keep holding down the shutter button to shoot continuously.
81
Panning
If you want to take a picture with the feel of speed and a blurred motion
effect on the subject’s background, use <r> (Panning). If you use a
lens supporting the <r> mode, subject blur is detected, corrected, and
reduced.
Shooting Tips
zzTurn the camera to follow the moving subject.
When shooting, turn the camera smoothly as you track the moving
subject. Aim the AF point over the part of the moving subject where you
want to focus, then press the shutter button halfway and keep holding
it down as you turn the camera to match the subject’s speed and
movement. Press the shutter button completely while moving the camera
to take the picture. Keep tracking the subject with the camera.
82
Panning
zzSet the level of background motion blur.

With [Effect], you can set the level of background motion blur. The [Max]
setting will set a slower shutter speed to increase the background motion
blur around the subject. If the subject blur is noticeable, set [Effect] to
[Med] or [Min] to reduce the blur.
oo For details on lenses compatible with <r> mode, visit the Canon website.
oo With lenses that support <r> mode, the camera automatically corrects
subject blur and (based on the [Effect] setting) adjusts shutter speed,
regardless of the lens IS setting.
oo The AF method can only be set to [1-point AF] or [Zone AF]. By default, it is
set to [Zone AF], with the zone in the center of the screen selected.
oo To prevent camera shake, it is recommended that you hold the camera with
both hands, tighten your arms close to your body, and track the subject’s
movement smoothly to take pictures.
oo This effect is most effective with trains, cars, etc. that move at a constant
speed in one direction.
oo Taking test shots or checking the image by playing it back immediately after
shooting is recommended.
oo By default, (Low-speed continuous shooting) is set. At the decisive
moment, press the shutter button completely to take the picture. You can track
moving subjects by panning the camera as you keep holding down the shutter
button to shoot continuously.
83
Shooting Close-ups
When you want to shoot flowers or small things up close, use the <4>
(Close-up) mode. To make small things appear much larger, use a macro
lens (sold separately).
Shooting Tips
zzUse a simple background.
A simple background makes small objects such as flowers stand out
better.
zzMove in as close as possible to the subject.
Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. The lens minimum
focusing distance is measured from the <V> (focal plane) mark on the
top of the camera to the subject. Focusing is not possible if you are too
close.
zzWith a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.
If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the subject
look larger.
84
Shooting Food
When you want to take pictures of food, use (Food). The photo will
look bright and appetizing. Also, depending on the light source, the reddish
tinge will be suppressed in the pictures taken under tungsten lights, etc.
Shooting Tips
zzChange the color tone.
You can change [Color tone]. To increase the food’s reddish tinge, set it
toward [Warm]. Set it toward [Cool] if it looks too red.
85
Shooting Night Portraits (With a Tripod)
When you want to photograph people at night and obtain a natural-looking
night scene in the background, use the <6> (Night Portrait) mode. Note
that an external Speedlite is required for shooting. Using a tripod is
recommended.
Shooting Tips
zzUse a wide-angle lens and a tripod.
When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to obtain a wide night
view. Also, since camera shake is prone to occur with handheld shooting,
use a tripod.
zzCheck the image brightness.
Note that it is recommended to play back the captured image on location
to check the image brightness. If the subject looks dark, move nearer and
shoot again.
zzAlso shoot in other shooting modes.
Since camera shake is prone to occur with night shots, shooting also with
<A> and <F> is recommended.
oo If you use the self-timer together with an external Speedlite, the self-timer
lamp will light up briefly after the picture is taken.
86
Shooting Night Scenes (Handheld)
Using a tripod when shooting a night scene gives the best results. However,
the <F> (Handheld Night Scene) mode enables you to shoot night scenes
even while handholding the camera. In this shooting mode, four shots are
taken consecutively for each picture, and the resulting one image with
reduced camera shake is recorded.
Shooting Tips
zzHold the camera firmly.
During shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. In this mode, four
shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if there is
significant misalignment in any of the four shots due to camera shake,
they may not align properly in the final image.
zzFor portraits, use an external Speedlite.
If you are to include people in the picture, use an external Speedlite.
To take a nice portrait, the first shot will use flash. Tell the subject not to
move until all four consecutive shots are taken.
87
Shooting Backlit Scenes
When shooting a scene having both the bright and dark areas, use the
<G> (HDR Backlight Control) mode. When you take one picture in this
mode, three consecutive shots are taken at different exposures. This results
in one image, with a wide tonal range, that has minimized the clipped
shadows caused by backlighting.
* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
Shooting Tips
zzHold the camera firmly.
During shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. In this mode, three
shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if there is
significant misalignment in any of the three shots due to camera shake,
they may not align properly in the final image.
88
Shooting Quiet Scenes
Where silence is needed, you can shoot without beeps such as shutter
release sounds.
Shooting Tips
zzTake some test shots.
It is recommended to take a few test shots in advance, because under
some shooting conditions, lens aperture adjustment may be audible.
oo As you shoot, a white frame is momentarily displayed around the screen.

oo The drive mode can only be set to , <m>, or <l>.
89
Cautions for the <SCN> Modes
q: Group Photo
oo The angle of view changes slightly, due to distortion correction.
oo Depending on the shooting conditions, focus may not be attained for everyone
from the front to the back of the image.
5: Sports
oo Under low light where camera shake tends to occur, the shutter speed value in
the lower left will blink. Hold the camera steady and shoot.
oo Using an external Speedlite will decrease the continuous shooting speed.
C: Kids
oo Using an external Speedlite will decrease the continuous shooting speed.
r: Panning
oo The shutter speed will become slower. Therefore, this mode is not suitable for
any shooting except for panning.
oo By default, is set. Note that <o> cannot be selected.
oo External Speedlites cannot be used. (It will not fire.)
oo Although lens IS is applied to images captured with lenses supporting <r>
mode, the effect is not shown on the screen as you shoot. (IS and subject blur
correction are activated when you shoot, regardless of the lens IS setting.)
oo If the lens does not support the <r> mode, subject blur will not be corrected.
However, the automatic shutter speed adjustment alone will take effect
according to the setting of [Effect].
oo When shooting under bright light such as a sunny summer day or when
shooting a slow subject, the set degree of panning effect may not be obtained.
90
r: Panning (continued)
oo With a lens supporting the <r> mode, subject blur may not be corrected
properly when shooting the following subjects or under the following shooting
conditions.
• Subjects with very low contrast.
• Subjects in low light.
• Strongly backlit or reflective subjects.
• Subjects with repetitive patterns.
• Subjects with less patterns or monotonous patterns.
• Subjects with reflections (images reflected in glass, etc.).
• Subjects smaller than the Zone AF frame.
• When there are multiple subjects moving within the Zone AF frame.
• Subjects moving in irregular directions or at irregular speeds.
• Subjects whose movements are partly irregular. (For example, the vertical
movement of a runner.)
• Subjects whose speed changes dramatically. (For example, right after the
start of movement or while turning along a curve.)
• When you move the camera too fast or too slow.
• When the camera’s movement does not match the subject’s movement.
P: Food
oo The warm color cast of subjects may fade.
oo When multiple light sources are included in the scene, the warm color cast of
the picture may not be reduced.
oo If you use an external Speedlite, [Color tone] will be set to Standard.
oo If there are people in the picture, the skin tone may not be reproduced
properly.
91
6: Night Portrait
oo Tell subjects to remain still for a moment after the flash fires.
oo Focusing may be difficult when subject faces look dark. In this case, set the
lens’s focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.
oo Autofocusing at night or in dark scenes may be difficult when points of light lie
within the AF point. In this case, set the lens’s focus mode switch to <MF> and
focus manually.
oo Shots will look slightly different from the image as displayed on the screen.
F: Handheld Night Scene
oo Compared to other shooting modes, the image area will be smaller.
oo RAW image quality cannot be set.
oo Autofocusing at night or in dark scenes may be difficult when points of light lie
within the AF point. In this case, set the lens’s focus mode switch to <MF> and
focus manually (=48, =51).
oo Shots will look slightly different from the image as displayed on the screen.
oo If you use an external Speedlite and the subject is close, overexposure may
result.
oo If you use an external Speedlite for a night scene with limited lighting, the
shots may not align correctly. This may result in a blurry picture.
oo If you use an external Speedlite with a human subject close to the background
that is also illuminated by the flash, the shots may not align correctly. This may
result in a blurry picture. Unnatural shadows and unsuitable colors may also
appear.
oo Flash coverage angle with an external Speedlite:
• When using a Speedlite with automatic flash coverage setting, the zoom
position will be fixed to the wide (wide-angle) end regardless of the lens’s
zoom position.
• When using a Speedlite requiring manual flash coverage setting, set the
flash head to the normal position.
92
F: Handheld Night Scene (continued)

oo If you shoot a moving subject, the subject’s movement may leave afterimages
or the surrounding area of the subject may become dark.
oo The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice,
stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or images significantly misaligned due
to camera shake.
oo It takes some time to record images to the card since they are merged after
shooting. [BUSY] is displayed as images are processed, and shooting is not
possible until processing is finished.
G: HDR Backlight Control
oo Compared to other shooting modes, the image area will be smaller.
oo RAW image quality cannot be set.
oo External Speedlites cannot be used. (It will not fire.)
oo Note that the image may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and may
look irregular or have significant noise.
oo HDR Backlight Control may not be effective for excessively backlit scenes or
extremely high-contrast scenes.
oo When shooting subjects that are sufficiently bright as they are, for example for
normally lit scenes, the image may look unnatural due to the HDR effect.
oo If you shoot a moving subject, the subject’s movement may leave afterimages
or the surrounding area of the subject may become dark.
oo The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice,
stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or images significantly misaligned due
to camera shake.
oo It takes some time to record images to the card since they are merged after
shooting. [BUSY] is displayed as images are processed, and shooting is not
possible until processing is finished.
I: Silent Mode
oo Be responsible when using silent shooting, and respect subject privacy and
portrait rights.
oo Images of fast-moving subjects may look distorted.
oo Bands of light may be displayed and stripes from differences in brightness
may be captured in images if you shoot in Silent Mode under flickering light
sources (such as fluorescent lights) or when another camera’s flash fires.
oo Continuous shooting and flash photography are not available.
93

Creative Zone
Creative Zone modes give you the freedom
to shoot in a variety of ways by setting your
preferred shutter speed, aperture value,
exposure, and more.
zz To clear the shooting mode description displayed when you turn

the Mode dial, press <0> (=369).
oo Make sure the Multi-function lock feature is off.
95
Program AE
The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit the
subject’s brightness. This is called Program AE.
* <d> stands for Program.
* AE stands for Auto Exposure.
1Set the Mode dial to <d>.

zz Aim the AF point over the subject and
press the shutter button halfway.
gg Once the subject is in focus, the AF
point turns green (with One-Shot AF).
gg The shutter speed and aperture are set

96
Program AE
oo If the “30"” shutter speed and the lowest f/number blink,

it indicates underexposure.
Increase the ISO speed or use flash.
oo If the “1/4000” shutter speed and the highest f/number

blink, it indicates overexposure.
Lower the ISO speed or use an ND filter (sold
separately) to reduce the amount of light entering the
lens.
Differences Between <d> and <A> Modes

oo In <A> mode, many functions, such as the AF method and metering mode,
are set automatically to prevent spoiled shots. The functions you can set
are limited. On the other hand, with <d> mode, only the shutter speed and
aperture are set automatically. You can freely set the AF method, metering
mode, and other functions.
Program Shift
oo In <d> mode, you can freely change the shutter speed and aperture
combination (Program) set automatically by the camera while maintaining the
same exposure. This is called Program shift.
oo To shift the program, press the shutter button halfway, then turn the <6> dial
until the desired shutter speed or aperture is displayed.
oo Program shift will be canceled automatically when the metering timer ends
(exposure setting display turns off).
oo Program shift cannot be used with flash.
97
Shutter-Priority AE
In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets
the aperture to obtain the standard exposure matching the brightness of the
subject. This is called shutter-priority AE. A faster shutter speed can freeze
the action of a moving subject. A slower shutter speed can create a blurred
effect, giving the impression of motion.
* <s> stands for Time value.

Shutter Speed Display

oo For example, “0"5” indicates 0.5 sec. and “15"”, 15 sec.
99
Aperture-Priority AE
In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter
speed automatically to obtain the standard exposure matching the subject
brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE. A higher f/number (smaller
aperture hole) will make more of the foreground and background fall within
acceptable focus. On the other hand, a lower f/number (larger aperture
hole) will make less of the foreground and background fall within acceptable
focus.
* <f> stands for Aperture value (aperture opening).

Long (Bulb) Exposures
In this mode, the shutter stays open as long as you hold down the shutter
button completely, and closes when you let go of the shutter button. This
photographic technique is called “bulb exposure”. Use bulb exposures for
night scenes, fireworks, the heavens, and other subjects requiring long
exposures.

oo You can also use Wireless Remote Control BR-E1 (sold separately) for bulb
exposures. When you press the remote control’s transmit button, the bulb
exposure will start immediately or 2 sec. later. Press the button again to stop
the bulb exposure.
Bulb TimerM
You can preset the bulb exposure’s exposure time. The bulb timer eliminates
the need to keep holding down the shutter button during the bulb exposure.
This reduces camera shake.

oo If [–] is set for both the RAW image and JPEG image, 73 will be set.
oo If you select both RAW and JPEG, each time you shoot, the image will be
recorded simultaneously to the card in both RAW and JPEG at the image-
recording qualities that were set. The two images will be recorded with the
same file numbers (file extension: .JPG for JPEG and .CR3 for RAW).
oo b is in 7 (Fine) quality.
oo Meaning of image quality icons: 1 RAW, F Compact RAW, JPEG,
7 Fine, 8 Normal, 3 Large, 4 Medium, 6 Small.
116
RAW Images
A RAW image is raw data output by the image sensor converted to digital
data. It is recorded to the card as is, and you can select the quality as
follows: 1 or F. F produces RAW images with smaller file sizes
than 1.
RAW images can be processed using [3: RAW image processing]
(=325) and saved as JPEG images. (Just as for 1, all JPEG size
options are available for F.) As the RAW image itself does not change,
you can process the RAW image to create any number of JPEG images
with various processing conditions.
You can use Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to process RAW
images. You can make various adjustments to images depending upon how
they will be used and can generate JPEG or other types of images reflecting
the effects of those adjustments.
RAW Image Processing Software

oo To display RAW images on a computer, using Digital Photo Professional
(hereafter DPP, EOS software) is recommended.
oo Previous versions of DPP Ver.4.x cannot process RAW images taken with this
camera. If a previous version of DPP Ver.4.x is installed on your computer,
obtain and install the latest version of DPP from the Canon website to update
it (=554). (The previous version will be overwritten.) Note that DPP Ver.3.x
or earlier cannot process RAW images taken with this camera.
oo Commercially available software may not be able to display RAW images
taken with this camera. For compatibility information, contact the software
manufacturer.
Guidelines for Choosing Image Quality

For guidelines on file sizes, number of possible shots, and maximum burst
shots, see =583.
117
Maximum Burst for Continuous Shooting

The approximate maximum burst is shown
on the shooting screen and in the lower
right of the viewfinder.
oo If the maximum burst is displayed as “99”, it indicates that you can shoot 99
or more shots continuously. The value starts decreasing once it reaches 98
or less. [BUSY] display indicates that internal memory is full and shooting
will stop temporarily. If you stop continuous shooting, the maximum burst will
increase. After all the captured images are written to the card, you can resume
continuous shooting and shoot up to the maximum burst listed in the table on
=583.
118
Setting Cropping/Aspect Ratio N
Normally with RF or EF lenses, images are captured at the sensor size
of approx. 36.0×24.0 mm in full-frame shooting, but in cropped shooting,
you can isolate and magnify the center of the image approx. 1.6x (APS-C
size) as if using a telephoto lens, or you can set an aspect ratio to suit your
shooting application before shooting.
For EF-S lenses, a 3:2 aspect ratio in the center is captured, magnified
approx. 1.6x (APS-C size).

zz The image captured will have lens
aberration corrected.
123
Correction of Lens Aberrations due to Optical Characteristics
Peripheral Illumination Correction

Vignetting (dark image corners) can be corrected.
oo Depending on shooting conditions, noise may appear on the image periphery.

oo The higher the ISO speed, the lower the correction amount will be.
oo The correction amount applied will be lower than the maximum correction
amount that applied with Digital Photo Professional (EOS software).
oo Peripheral illumination is corrected automatically in Basic Zone modes when
correction data is registered on the camera.
Distortion Correction
Distortion (image warping) can be corrected.
oo To correct distortion, the camera captures a narrower image area than the
area seen when shooting, which crops the image a little and slightly lowers the
apparent resolution.
oo Setting distortion correction may change the angle of view slightly.
oo The amount of image cropped may vary between still photos and movies.
oo When you magnify images, distortion correction is not applied to the images
displayed.
oo Images with distortion correction applied will not have the Dust Delete Data
(=161) appended.
oo With RF lenses, distortion correction during movie recording is supported.

oo Distortion is corrected automatically when <8> mode is set to <q> and
124
Digital Lens Optimizer

Various aberrations from lens optical characteristics can be corrected, along
with diffraction and low-pass filter-induced loss of clarity.
If [Correction data not available] or [ ] is displayed by [Digital Lens
Optimizer], you can use EOS Utility to add the lens correction data to the
camera. For details, refer to the EOS Utility Instruction Manual.
oo Depending on shooting conditions, noise may be intensified together with the

effects of correction. Image edges may also be emphasized. Adjust Picture
Style sharpness or set [Digital Lens Optimizer] to [Disable] as needed
before shooting.
oo For movie recording, [Digital Lens Optimizer] will not appear. (Correction is
not possible.)
oo Enabling [Digital Lens Optimizer] corrects both chromatic aberration and

diffraction, although these options are not displayed.
oo Digital Lens Optimizer is applied automatically in Basic Zone modes when
125
Chromatic Aberration Correction

Chromatic aberration (color fringing around subjects) can be corrected.
oo [Chromatic aberr corr] is not displayed when [Digital Lens Optimizer] is

enabled.
Diffraction Correction
Diffraction (loss of sharpness caused by the aperture) can be corrected.
oo Depending on shooting conditions, noise may be intensified together with the

effects of correction.
oo For movie recording, [Diffraction correction] will not appear. (Correction is
not possible.)
oo With “Diffraction correction”, degraded resolution due to the low-pass filter, etc.
is corrected in addition to diffraction. Therefore, correction is effective even at
an aperture close to the open aperture.
oo [Diffraction correction] is not displayed when [Digital Lens Optimizer] is
enabled.
126
General Cautions for Lens Aberration Correction

oo Peripheral illumination correction, chromatic aberration correction, distortion
correction, and diffraction correction cannot be applied to JPEG images
already taken.
oo When using a non-Canon lens, setting the corrections to [Disable] is
recommended even if [Correction data available] is displayed.
oo Magnifying the periphery of the image may display parts of the image that will
not be recorded.
oo The correction amount will be less (except for diffraction correction) if the lens
used does not have distance information.
General Notes for Lens Aberration Correction

oo The effect of the lens aberration correction varies depending on the lens used
and shooting conditions. Also, the effect may be difficult to discern depending
on the lens used, shooting conditions, etc.
oo If the correction is difficult to discern, magnifying and checking the image after
shooting is recommended.
oo Corrections can be applied even when an extender or life-size converter is
attached.
oo If the correction data for the attached lens is not registered to the camera, the
result will be the same as when the correction is set to [Disable] (except for
diffraction correction).
oo If necessary, refer to the EOS Utility Instruction Manual as well.

131
Setting the ISO Speed for Still Photos
ISO Speed Guide

zz Low ISO speeds reduce image noise but may increase the risk of
camera/subject shake or reduce the area in focus (shallower depth of
field), in some shooting conditions.
zz High ISO speeds enable low-light shooting, a larger area in focus (deeper
depth of field), and longer flash range but may increase image noise.
oo As H1 (equivalent to ISO 51200) and H2 (equivalent to ISO 102400) are

expanded ISO speed settings, noise (dots of light, banding, etc.) and irregular
colors will be more noticeable, and the resolution lower compared with the
standard setting.
oo As L (equivalent to ISO 50) is an expanded ISO speed setting, the dynamic
range will be somewhat narrower compared with the standard setting.
oo If [z: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable] or [Enhanced] (=137), L
(equivalent to ISO 50), ISO 100/125/160, H1 (equivalent to ISO 51200), and
H2 (equivalent to ISO 102400) cannot be selected.
oo When shooting with a high ISO speed, high temperature, long exposure, or
multiple exposure, image noise (rough grain, dots of light, banding, etc.),
irregular colors, or color shift may become noticeable.
oo When shooting in conditions that produce an extreme amount of noise, such
as a combination of high ISO speed, high temperature, and long exposure,
images may not be recorded properly.
oo If you use a high ISO speed and flash to shoot a close subject, overexposure
may result.
132
Setting the Manually-Settable ISO Speed Range

You can set the manually-settable ISO speed range (minimum and
maximum limits). You can set the minimum limit within L (equivalent to ISO

be set to obtain the standard exposure.
oo This function will not be applied to flash photography and movie recording.
oo When [Auto(Standard)] is set, the minimum shutter speed will be the

reciprocal of the lens focal length. A single step from [Slower] to [Faster] is
equivalent to a single stop of the shutter speed.
135

White Balance
To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of
lighting. With a digital camera, the white for color correction basis is decided
depending on the color temperature of the illumination, and then the color
is adjusted with software to make the white areas look white. With this
function, you can take the pictures with natural color tones.

[O] Custom White Balance

With custom white balance, you can manually set the white balance for
the specific light source of the shooting location. Make sure to perform this
procedure under the light source at the actual location of the shoot.
1Shoot a white object.

zz Aim the camera at a plain white subject,
so that white fills the screen.
zz Focus manually and shoot with the
standard exposure set for the white
object.
zz You can use any of the white balance
settings.

3Import the white balance data.

zz Press the <Y> <Z> keys to select the
image captured in step 1, then press
<0>.
gg Select [OK] to import the data.
5Select the custom white balance.

zz Select [O].
143
oo If the exposure obtained in step 1 differs greatly from the standard exposure, a
correct white balance may not be obtained.
oo The following images cannot be selected: Images captured with the Picture
Style set to [Monochrome], multiple-exposure images, cropped images, and
images shot with another camera.
oo Instead of shooting a white object, you can also shoot a gray chart or standard
18% gray reflector (commercially available).
[P] Setting the Color Temperature

A value can be set representing the white balance color temperature.
2Set the color temperature.

zz Select [P].
zz Turn the <6> dial to set the desired
color temperature, then press <0>.
zz The color temperature can be set from
approx. 2500K to 10000K in 100K
increments.
oo When setting the color temperature for an artificial light source, set the white
balance correction (magenta or green bias) as necessary.
oo If you set [P] to the reading taken with a commercially available color
temperature meter, take test shots and adjust the setting to compensate
for the difference between the color temperature meter’s reading and the
camera’s color temperature reading.
144
White Balance Correction N
You can correct the white balance that is set. This adjustment will have the
same effect as using a commercially available color temperature conversion
filter or color compensating filter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine
levels.
White Balance Correction
1Select [z: WB Shift/Bkt.].
2Set the white balance correction.

zz Press the <V> cross keys to move the
“■” mark to the appropriate position.
zz B is for blue, A for amber, M for
magenta, and G for green. The image’s

of a color temperature conversion filter. (Mired: Unit of measure for color
temperature used to indicate values such as the density of a color temperature
conversion filter.)
145
White Balance Correction
White Balance Auto Bracketing

White balance bracketing (WB Bkt.) enables you to capture three images
at once with different color tones. Based on the color temperature of the
current white balance setting, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber
bias and magenta/green bias. White balance bracketing is possible up to ±3
levels in single-level increments.
B/A bias ±3 levels Set the white balance bracketing

amount.
zz In step 2 for “White Balance Correction”,
when you turn the <5> dial, the “■”
mark on the screen will change to “■ ■ ■” (3
points).
zz Turning the dial clockwise sets
the B/A bracketing, and turning
it counterclockwise sets the M/G
bracketing.
gg On the right, “Bracket” indicates the
bracketing direction and correction
amount.
zz Pressing the <L> button will cancel all
the [WB Shift/Bkt.] settings.
zz Press <0> to exit the setting.
oo During white balance bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting
will be lower.
oo Since three images are recorded for one shot, it takes longer to record the
image to the card.
oo The images will be bracketed in the following sequence: 1. Standard white

balance, 2. Blue (B) bias, and 3. Amber (A) bias, or 1. Standard white balance,
2. Magenta (M) bias, and 3. Green (G) bias.
oo You can also set white balance correction and AEB together with white
balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance
bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot.
oo The white balance icon blinks when white balance bracketing is set.
oo “Bracket” stands for bracketing.

Cautions for Setting Multi Shot Noise Reduction

oo If there is significant misalignment in the image due to camera shake, the
noise reduction effect may become smaller.
oo If you are handholding the camera, keep it steady to prevent camera shake.
Using a tripod is recommended.
oo If you shoot a moving subject, the moving subject may leave afterimages.
oo Auto image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice,
stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
oo If the subject’s brightness changes as the four consecutive shots are taken,
irregular exposure in the image may result.
oo After shooting, it may take some time to record an image to the card after
performing noise reduction and merging the images. [BUSY] is displayed
as images are processed, and shooting is not possible until processing is
finished.
oo [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] is not available with bulb shooting, shooting
with AEB or WB bracketing, shooting RAW or RAW+JPEG images, or with
features such as long exposure noise reduction, multiple exposures, or HDR
mode.
oo Flash photography is not possible. Note that the AF-assist beam of EOS-
dedicated, external Speedlites will be emitted according to the [z: AF-assist
beam firing] setting.
oo [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] is not available (not displayed) when recording
movies.
oo Automatically switches to [Standard] if you set the power switch to <2>,
replace the battery or card, switch to a Basic Zone or shooting mode, or
switch to movie recording.

2Set a reduction option.
zz[AUTO] Automatic
For exposures of 1 sec. or longer, noise reduction is performed
automatically if noise typical of long exposures is detected. This [Auto]
setting is effective enough in most cases.
zz[ON] Enable
Noise reduction is performed for all exposures of 1 sec. or longer. The
[Enable] setting may reduce noise that cannot be detected with the [Auto]
setting.
3Take the picture.

gg The image will be recorded with noise
reduction applied.
159
oo With [Auto] or [Enable] set, the noise reduction process after the picture is
taken may take the same amount of time as that for the exposure.
oo Images may look grainier with the [Enable] setting than with the [Disable] or
[Auto] setting.
oo [BUSY] is displayed as noise is reduced, and the shooting screen is not
displayed until processing is finished, when you can shoot again.
160
Appending Dust Delete Data N

oo HDR shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting may result in unnatural color
reproduction of the illuminated areas.
oo With HDR shooting, the images will be merged, then saved to the card,
so it may take some time. [BUSY] appears on the screen as images are
processed, and shooting is not possible until processing is finished.

zz After the set number of shots are taken,
the interval timer shooting will stop and
be automatically canceled.
oo Using a tripod is recommended.

oo Taking test shots in advance is recommended.
oo Even during interval timer shooting, you can still shoot as usual by pressing
the shutter button completely. Note that the camera will prepare for the next
interval timer shot approx. 5 sec. in advance, which will temporarily prevent
operations such as adjusting shooting settings, accessing menus, and playing
back images.
oo If the next scheduled interval timer shot is not possible because the camera is
shooting or processing images, it will be skipped. For this reason, fewer shots
than specified will be taken.
oo Even during interval timer operation, auto power off is triggered after approx.
8 sec. of inactivity, as long as [Auto power off] under [5: Power saving]
is not set to [Disable]. The camera will automatically turn on again approx.
1 min. before the next shot.
oo Can also be combined with AEB, white balance bracketing, multiple
exposures, and HDR mode.
oo To stop interval timer shooting, select [Disable] or set the power switch to
<2>.
177
oo Setting the lens focus mode switch to <AF> prevents the camera from
shooting unless subjects are in focus. Setting it to <MF> and focusing
manually before shooting is recommended.
oo When shooting over an extended period, consider using an optional household
power outlet accessory.
oo Shooting long exposures or using shutter speeds longer than the shooting
interval will prevent shooting at the specified interval. For this reason, fewer
shots than specified will be taken. Using shutter speeds nearly the same as
the shooting interval may also reduce the number of shots.
oo If the time it takes to record to the card exceeds the shooting interval due to
the shooting functions set or card performance, some of the shots may not be
taken with the set intervals.
oo When using flash with interval timer shooting, set an interval longer than the
flash charge time. Intervals that are too short may prevent the flash from firing.
oo Intervals that are too short may prevent shooting or autofocusing.
oo Interval timer shooting will be canceled and reset to [Disable] if you set the
power switch to <2>, set the shooting mode to <w/x/y>, or use EOS
Utility (EOS software).
oo During interval timer shooting, you cannot use remote control shooting
(=217) or remote-release shooting with a Speedlite.
178
Reducing Flicker N
If you shoot an image with a fast shutter speed under a light source such
as fluorescent light, the blinking of the light source causes flicker and the
image may be vertically unevenly exposed. If continuous shooting is used
under these conditions, uneven exposures or colors across the images may
result. Anti-flicker shooting enables you to take pictures when exposure and
colors are less affected by flickering.
1Select [z: Anti-flicker shoot.].
2Select [Enable].
3Take the picture.

zz After setting to [Enable], or when the
light source changes, detect flicker
before shooting by pressing the <Q>
button, selecting [Anti-flicker shoot.],
then pressing the button.
zz The picture will be taken with reduced
unevenness of exposure or color tone
caused by the flicker.
oo With [Enable] set, the shutter-release time lag is longer when you shoot under
a flickering light source. Also, the continuous shooting speed may become
slower, and the shooting interval may become irregular.
oo Flicker at a frequency other than 100 Hz or 120 Hz cannot be detected.
Also, if the flickering frequency of the light source changes during continuous
shooting, effects of the flicker cannot be reduced.
179
Reducing Flicker
oo In the <t>, <d>, or <f> mode, if the shutter speed changes during
continuous shooting or if you shoot multiple shots of the same scene at
different shutter speeds, the color tone may become inconsistent. To avoid
inconsistent color tones, use <t>, <d>, or <f> mode at a fixed shutter
speed.
oo Color tone of captured images may vary between [Enable] and [Disable].
oo Shutter speed, aperture, and ISO speed may change when you start shooting
(even with AE lock).
oo If the subject is against a dark background or if there is a bright light in the
image, flicker may not be properly detected.
oo Flicker reduction may not be possible under special lighting.
oo Depending on the light source, flicker may not be detected properly.
oo Depending on the light sources or shooting conditions, the expected result
may not be obtained even if you use this function.
oo Taking test shots in advance is recommended.

oo Detect flicker manually if the screen flickers (as when the light source
changes) by pressing the <Q> button, selecting [Anti-flicker shoot.], then
pressing the button.
oo Flicker is not reduced in Basic Zone modes.
oo Flicker reduction also works with flash photography. However, the expected
result may not be obtained for wireless flash photography.

oo The AF-assist beam does not fire when Touch AF is used (when [z: Touch
Shutter] is set to [Disable]).
oo When you are using an external flash unit, either the camera or the flash unit
fires an AF-assist beam as needed. However, only the camera’s AF-assist
beam fires when you are using a Speedlite 90EX, Macro Ring Lite, or Macro
Twin Lite.
oo A small series of flashes is fired even if you set the external flash’s AF-assist
beam emission method in the Personal Functions to infrared AF-assist beam
firing. To disable AF-assist beam firing, set [z: AF-assist beam firing] to
[Disable] (=201).
oo Focus range with the AF-assist beam is generally no more than 3.5 m/11.5 ft.
187
Selecting the AF Method
You can select the AF method to suit the shooting conditions or subject. The
camera attempts to focus on faces of any people in an AF point or Zone AF
frame. In <A> mode, [u+Tracking] is set automatically.
For instructions on selecting an AF method, see =190.
AF Method
: Face+Tracking
The camera detects and focuses on
people's faces. (an AF point) appears
over any face detected, which is then
tracked.
If no face is detected, the entire AF area is used for auto selection AF.
With Servo AF, you can set the initial position for Servo AF (=192). As
long as the Area AF frame can track the subject during shooting, focusing
will continue.
: Spot AF
The camera focuses in a narrower area
than 1-point AF.
: 1-point AF
The camera focuses using a single AF
point <S>.
188
: Expand AF area (Z)

Focusing uses one AF point <S> and
points above, below, and to the left and
right <w>. Effective for moving subjects,
which are difficult to track with 1-point AF.
Focusing on your preferred subject is easier than with Zone AF.

When Servo AF is used, first you will focus using an AF point <S>.
: Expand AF area: Around

Focusing uses one AF point <S> and
surrounding points <w>, which makes it
easier to focus on moving subjects than
with Z AF point expansion.
Servo AF operation is the same as for Z
AF point expansion.
: Zone AF
Uses auto selection AF in Zone AF frames
to cover a larger area than AF point
expansion, which makes focusing easier
than with AF point expansion.
Prioritizes focusing on the nearest subject. Faces of any people in the Zone
AF frame are also given priority in focusing.
AF points in focus are displayed with <S>.

Tapping a Face for Focus

Tapping a face or subject to focus on changes the AF point to < > and
focuses where you tap.
Even if the face or subject moves on the screen, the AF point < > moves to
track it.
oo If the subject’s face is significantly out of focus, face detection will not be
possible. Adjust the focus manually (=214) so that the face can be detected,
then perform AF.
oo An object other than a human face may be detected as a face.
oo Face detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the picture, too
bright or too dark, or partially hidden.
oo AF cannot detect subjects or people’s faces at the edges of the screen.
Recompose the shot to center the subject or bring the subject closer to the

zz[ ] 1/180-30sec. auto

The flash sync speed is set automatically within a range of 1/180 sec. to
30 sec. to suit the scene’s brightness. Slow-sync shooting is used under
some shooting conditions, in low-light locations, and shutter speed is
automatically lowered.
zz[ ] 1/180-1/60sec. auto
Prevents a slow shutter speed from being set automatically in low-light
conditions. It is effective for preventing subject blur and camera shake.
However, while the subject will be properly exposed with the flash, the
background may come out dark.
zz[ ] 1/180 sec. (fixed)
The flash sync speed is fixed at 1/180 sec. This more effectively
prevents subject blur and camera shake than with [1/180-1/60sec. auto].
However, in low light, the subject’s background will come out darker than

zzFlash mode
You can select the flash mode to suit your desired flash photography.
[E-TTL II flash metering] is the standard
mode of EL/EX series Speedlites for
automatic flash photography.
[Manual flash] is for setting the Speedlite’s
[Flash output level] yourself.
[CSP] (continuous shooting priority mode) automatically decreases flash

output by one stop and increases ISO speed by one stop. Useful in
continuous shooting, and helps conserve flash battery power.
Regarding other flash modes, refer to the Instruction Manual of a Speedlite
compatible with the respective flash mode.
oo Adjust exposure compensation (=128) as needed in case of overexposure

from flash photography with [CSP] in [t], [s], or [a] mode.
oo With [CSP], ISO speed is automatically set to [Auto]. [Safety FE] is also set
to [Enable] automatically. After canceling [CSP], check the ISO speed and

head, you can set the flash coverage.
Normally, set this to [AUTO] so that the
camera will automatically set the flash
coverage to match the lens focal length.
227
zzShutter synchronization
Normally, set this to [First-curtain
synchronization] so that the flash fires
immediately after the exposure starts.
If [Second-curtain synchronization] is set, the flash will be fired right

before the shutter closes. When this is combined with a slow shutter speed,
you can create a trail of light such as from car headlights at night with a
more natural feel. When second-curtain synchronization is set together with
[E-TTL II flash metering], the flash will be fired twice in a row: once when
you press the shutter button completely and once right before the end of the
exposure.
If [High-speed synchronization] is set, the flash can be used at all shutter
speeds. This is effective when you want to shoot with background blur (open
aperture) in locations such as outdoors in daylight.
oo When using second-curtain synchronization, set the shutter speed to

1/80 sec. or slower. If the shutter speed is 1/90 sec. or faster, first-curtain
synchronization will be applied automatically even if [Second-curtain
synchronization] is set.
228
zzFlash exposure compensation

You can set flash exposure compensation
up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.

General Notes on Still Photo Shooting
Information Display
For details on the icons displayed for still photo shooting, see =591.
oo When <g> is displayed in white, it indicates that the image is displayed at

the brightness level closely matching that of the actual image to be captured.
oo If <g> is blinking, it indicates that the image is displayed at a brightness
that differs from the actual shooting result because of low- or bright-light
conditions. However, the actual image recorded will reflect the exposure
setting. Note that the noise may be more noticeable than the actual image
recorded.
oo Exposure simulation may not be performed under some shooting settings.
The <g> icon and histogram will be displayed in gray. The image will be
displayed on the screen at the standard brightness. The histogram may not be
properly displayed in low- or bright-light conditions.
oo The histogram can be displayed when [z: Expo. simulation] is set to
[Enable] (=139).
231
oo Defocused image areas may be incomplete when shooting near maximum
aperture at high shutter speeds. If you dislike the appearance of defocused
image areas, shooting as follows may give better results.
• Lower the shutter speed.
• Increase the aperture value.
Image Quality
oo When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light and banding)
may become noticeable.
oo Shooting in high temperatures may cause noise and irregular colors in the
image.
oo Frequent shooting over an extended period may cause the camera’s internal
temperature to rise and affect image quality. When you are not shooting,
always turn off the camera.
oo If you shoot a long exposure while the camera’s internal temperature is high,
image quality may decline. Stop shooting and wait a few minutes before
shooting again.
White <s> and Red <E> Internal Temperature Warning Icons
oo If the camera’s internal temperature rises from extended shooting or use in hot
environments, a white <s> or red <E> icon will appear.
oo The white <s> icon indicates that the image quality of still photos will decline.
Stop shooting for a while and allow the camera to cool down.
oo The red <E> icon indicates that shooting will soon end automatically.
Shooting will not be possible again until the camera cools down internally, so
stop shooting temporarily or turn off the camera and let it cool down a while.
oo Shooting in hot environments over extended periods will cause the white <s>
or red <E> icon to appear sooner. When you are not shooting, always turn off
the camera.
oo If the camera’s internal temperature is high, the quality of images shot with
a high ISO speed or long exposure may decline even before the white <s>
icon is displayed.
Shooting Results
oo If you take the picture in magnified view, the exposure may not come out as
desired. Return to the normal view before taking the picture.
oo Even if you take the picture in magnified view, the image will be captured with
the image area of the normal view.
232
Images and Display

oo Under low- or bright-light conditions, the displayed image may not reflect the
brightness of the captured image.
oo Under low light, noise may be noticeable in image display even at low ISO
speeds, but there will be less noise in your shots, because image quality
varies between display and captured images.
oo The screen or exposure value may flicker if the light source (lighting) changes.
In this case, stop shooting temporarily and resume under the light source you
will use.
oo Pointing the camera at different direction may momentarily prevent correct
display of brightness. Wait until the brightness level stabilizes before shooting.
oo If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may appear
black on the screen. However, the actual captured image will correctly show
the bright area.
oo In low light, if you set the [5: Disp. brightness] to a bright setting, noise
or irregular colors may appear in the image. However, the noise or irregular
colors will not be recorded in the captured image.
oo When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more
pronounced than in the actual image.
Lens
oo If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image Stabilizer
(IS) switch to <1>, the Image Stabilizer will operate at all times even if
you do not press the shutter button halfway. The Image Stabilizer consumes
battery power and may decrease the number of possible shots depending on
the shooting conditions. When the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, such as
when using a tripod, it is recommended that you set the IS switch to <2>.
oo With EF lenses, focus preset during shooting is only available when using
(super) telephoto lenses equipped with this function released in and after the
second half of 2011.
233
oo The image’s field of view coverage is approx. 100% (with image quality set to
JPEG 73).
oo If the camera is idle over an extended period, the screen will turn off
automatically after the time set in [Display off] or [Viewfinder off] under [5:
Power saving]. The camera then turns off automatically after the time set in
[Auto power off] (=372).
oo With the HDMI Cable HTC-100 (sold separately), you can display the image
on a television (=308). Note that no sound will be output.

horizontal banding noise may be recorded in the movie. The same type of
noise may occur if you focus manually with certain lenses equipped with an
electronic focusing ring.
oo Shooting a few test movies is recommended if you intend to perform zooming
during movie recording. Zooming as you record movies may cause exposure
changes or lens sounds to be recorded, an uneven audio level, or loss of
focus.
oo Large aperture values may delay or prevent accurate focusing.
oo During movie recording, if you perform AF, any of the following may occur:
The focus is temporarily greatly thrown off, changes in movie brightness is
recorded, the movie recording stops momentarily, and the mechanical sound
of the lens is recorded.
oo Avoid covering the built-in microphones (=240) with your fingers or other
objects.

Recording Movies
Notes for Movie Recording

oo Each time you record a movie, a new movie file is created on the card.
oo The movie’s field of view coverage for recording 4K, Full HD, and HD movies
is approx. 100%.
oo You can also focus by pressing the button.
oo To enable starting or stopping movie recording by pressing the shutter button
completely, set [Fully-press] for [5: Shutter btn function for movies] to
[Start/stop mov rec].
oo Stereo sound is recorded by the camera’s built-in microphone (=240).
oo Any external microphones such as Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold
separately) connected to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal are
used instead of the built-in microphones (=258).
oo Most external microphones equipped with a 3.5 mm diameter mini plug can be
used.
oo With EF lenses, focus preset during movie recording is available when using
(super) telephoto lenses equipped with this function released in and after the
second half of 2011.
oo YCbCr 4:2:0 (8-bit) color sampling and the Rec. ITU-R BT.709 color space are
used for 4K, Full HD, and HD movies.

247
Recording HDR Movies
oo [z: Movie cropping] is not available.

oo Since multiple frames are merged to create an HDR movie, certain parts of
the movie may look distorted. During handheld recording, camera shake may
make the distortion look more noticeable. Using a tripod is recommended.
Note that even if a tripod is used for recording, afterimages or noise may
become more noticeable when the HDR movie is played back frame-by-frame
or in slow-motion compared to normal playback.
oo Image color and brightness may change significantly for a moment if you
change settings for HDR movie recording. Also, the movie will not be updated
for a moment, and the frame stops momentarily. Be aware of this when
recording movies to external devices via HDMI.
oo The recording size is L6X (NTSC) or L5X (PAL). Note that

movies are recorded in HD when EF-S lenses are used.
oo ISO speed is set automatically when you record HDR movies.
248
Setting the Movie Recording Size
Under the [z: Movie rec. size] tab, set the image size, frame rate, and
compression method. The movie will be recorded as an MP4 file.
The frame rate displayed on the [Movie rec. size] screen switches
automatically depending on the [5: Video system] setting (=378).
oo The card’s writing and reading speeds required for recording movies
(card performance requirements) vary depending on the movie recording
size. Before recording movies, see =585 to check the performance
requirements of the card.
Image Size
zz[H] 3840×2160
The movie is recorded in 4K quality. The aspect ratio is 16:9.
Not available unless the Mode dial is set to <k>.
zz[L] 1920×1080
The movie will be recorded in Full High-Definition (Full HD) quality. The
aspect ratio is 16:9.
zz[w] 1280×720
The movie is recorded in High-Definition (HD) quality. The aspect ratio is
16:9.
249
oo If you change the [5: Video system] setting, also set [z: Movie rec. size]
again.
oo Normal playback of 4K and L8/7 movies may not be possible on
other devices, because playback is processing-intensive.
oo Clarity and noise vary slightly depending on movie recording size, cropped
shooting settings, and the lens used.
oo Movies cannot be recorded in VGA quality.
4K Movie Recording
zz Recording 4K movies requires a high-performance card. For details, see
“Cards that Can Record Movies” on =585.
zz Recording 4K movies greatly increases the processing load, which may
cause the camera’s internal temperature to increase faster or become
higher than for regular movies. If a red E icon appears during movie
recording, the card may be hot, so stop recording the movie and let
the camera cool down before removing the card. (Do not remove the
card immediately.)
zz From a 4K movie, you can select any frame to save as an approx.
8.3-megapixel (3840×2160) JPEG still image to the card (=306).
oo Contrast detection is used to focus when recording 4K movies. Focusing may

take longer than when recording HD or Full HD movies.
250
Movie-Recording Coverage
Image sensor coverage for movies varies depending on movie recording
size, cropped shooting settings, and the lens used.
With EF-S lenses, movies are cropped around the center of the image.

For areas where the TV system is PAL (Europe, Russia, China,
Australia, etc.).
[4] 23.98fps
Mainly for motion pictures. 4 (23.98fps) is available when [5:
Video system] is set to [For NTSC].
zzCompression method
[X] IPB (Standard)
Compresses multiple frames at a time efficiently for recording.
[ ] IPB (Light)
Since the movie is recorded at a bit rate lower than with IPB (Standard),
the file size will be smaller than with IPB (Standard) and the playback
compatibility will be higher. This will make the possible recording
time longer than with IPB (Standard) (with a card having the same
capacity).
zzMovie recording format
[C] MP4
All movies you shoot with the camera are recorded as movie files in
MP4 format (file extension “.MP4”).
252
Cards that Can Record Movies

For details on cards you can use for various movie recording sizes, see
=585.
When recording movies, use a high-capacity card with a writing/reading
speed (as specified in card performance requirements) shown in the
table on =585 or higher than the standard specification. Test cards by
recording a few movies to make sure they can record correctly at your
specified size (=249).
oo Format cards before recording 4K movies (=367).

oo If you use a slow-writing card when recording movies, the movie may not be
recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card with a slow reading
speed, the movie may not be played back properly.
oo When recording movies, use high-performance cards with a writing speed
sufficiently higher than the bit rate.
oo When movies cannot be recorded normally, format the card and try again.
If formatting the card does not resolve the problem, refer to the card
manufacturer’s website, etc.
ooTo obtain better performance with the card, formatting the card with the
camera before recording movies is recommended (=367).
oo To check the card’s writing/reading speed, refer to the card manufacturer’s
website, etc.
253
Movie Files Exceeding 4 GB

Even if you record a movie exceeding 4 GB, you can keep recording without
interruption.
zzUsing SD/SDHC cards formatted with the camera
If you use the camera to format an SD/SDHC card, the camera will format
it in FAT32.
With a FAT32-formatted card, if you record a movie and the file size
exceeds 4 GB, a new movie file will be created automatically.
When you play back the movie, you will have to play back each movie
file individually. Movie files cannot be played back automatically in
consecutive order. After the movie playback ends, select the next movie
and play it back.
zzUsing SDXC cards formatted with the camera
If you use the camera to format an SDXC card, the camera will format it
in exFAT.
When using an exFAT-formatted card, even if the file size exceeds 4 GB
during movie recording, the movie will be saved as a single file (rather
than being split into multiple files).
oo When importing movie files exceeding 4 GB to a computer, use either EOS

Utility or a card reader (=557). It may not be possible to save movie files
exceeding 4 GB if you attempt this using standard features of the computer’s
operating system.
254
Total Movie Recording Time and File Size Per Minute

For details on file sizes and the recording time available at each movie
recording size, see =586.
Movie Recording Time Limit

The maximum recording time per movie is 29 min. 59 sec. Once 29 min.
59 sec. is reached, recording automatically stops. You can start recording
a movie again by pressing the movie shooting button (which records the
movie as a new file).
255
Movie Cropping
With RF or EF lenses, movies can be cropped around the center of the
image, as if using a telephoto lens.
Recording movies with EF-S lenses has the same effect as this movie
cropping feature.
1Select [z: Movie cropping].

2Select [Enable].
gg The center area is magnified.
oo Full HD movies cannot be recorded with movie cropping.

oo The center of the screen is further cropped, reducing the shooting area, when
[z: Movie digital IS] is set to [Enable] or [Enhanced].
oo The shooting area available with movie cropping is the same as when
recording movies with EF-S lenses.
oo 4K movies are always recorded with the center of the recording screen
cropped, and enabling [z: Movie cropping] does not change the recording
angle of view.
oo For details on the shooting area, see =251.
256
Setting the Sound Recording
You can record movies while recording
sound with the built-in stereo microphone
or an external stereo microphone. You can
also freely adjust the sound-recording level.
Use [z: Sound recording] to set sound
recording functions.
Sound Recording/Sound-Recording Level

zzAuto
The sound-recording level is adjusted automatically. Auto level control will
take effect automatically in response to the sound level.
zzManual
You can adjust the sound-recording level as needed.
Select [Rec. level] and press the <Y> <Z> keys while looking at the
level meter to adjust the sound-recording level. Look at the peak hold
indicator, and adjust so that the level meter sometimes lights up on the
right of the “12” (–12 dB) mark for the loudest sounds. If it exceeds “0”,
the sound will be distorted.
zzDisable
Sound will not be recorded.
Wind Filter
Set to [Auto] to reduce wind noise automatically when there is wind
outdoors. Only activated when the camera’s built-in microphone is used.
When the wind filter function takes effect, part of the low bass sounds will
also be reduced.
257
Attenuator
Automatically suppresses sound distortion caused by loud noises. Even if
[Sound rec.] is set to [Auto] or [Manual] for recording, sound distortion
may still result if there is a very loud sound. In this case, setting it to [Enable]
is recommended.
zzUsing a microphone
Normally, the camera’s built-in microphone records in stereo.
If an external microphone equipped with a miniature stereo plug (3.5 mm
diameter) is connected to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal,
the external microphone will be given the priority. Using the Directional
Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) is recommended.
zzUsing headphones
By connecting commercially available headphones with a 3.5 mm mini
plug to the headphone terminal, you can listen to the sound as movies
are recorded. To adjust headphone volume, press the <Q> button, select
[n], then turn the <6> dial for adjustment.
You can also use headphones during movie playback.
258
oo Sounds from Wi-Fi operations may be captured with built-in or external

microphones. During sound recording, using the wireless communication
function is not recommended.
oo When connecting an external microphone or headphones to the camera, be
sure to insert the plug all the way in.
oo If AF operations are performed or you control the camera or lens during movie
recording, the camera’s built-in microphone may also record mechanical
sounds of the lens or sounds of camera/lens operations. In this case, using
an external microphone may reduce these sounds. If the sounds are still
distracting with an external microphone, it may be more effective to remove
the external microphone from the camera and position it away from the
camera and lens.
oo Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the camera’s
external microphone IN terminal.
oo Noise reduction is not applied to the audio played through headphones. Thus,
the audio recorded with the movie will be different.
oo Do not change the [Sound recording] settings when listening with
headphones. This may cause sudden loud output that may hurt your ears.
oo In [u] mode, the settings available for [Sound recording] are [On] or [Off].
Set to [On] for automatic adjustment of the recording level.
oo Audio is also output when the camera is connected to televisions via HDMI,
except when [Sound rec.] is set to [Disable].
oo The sound volume balance between L (left) and R (right) cannot be adjusted.
oo Sound is recorded at a 48 kHz/16-bit sampling rate.
259
Movie Digital IS
In-camera image stabilization electronically corrects camera shake during
movie recording. This function is called “Movie digital IS”. With Movie
digital IS, images can be stabilized even when using a lens without Image
Stabilizer. When using a lens with built-in optical Image Stabilizer, set the
lens’s Image Stabilizer switch to <1>.
1Select [z: Movie digital IS].
2Select an item.
zzDisable (v)
Image stabilization with Movie digital IS is disabled.
zzEnable (w)
Camera shake will be corrected. The image will be slightly magnified.
zzEnhanced (x) (Not displayed for still photos shooting)
Compared to when [Enable] is set, stronger camera shake can be
corrected. The image will be more magnified.
260
Movie Digital IS
Combination IS
Even more effective correction is possible by recording movies with Movie
digital IS and a Combination IS-compatible lens, which will combine optical
and digital image stabilization by the lens and camera.
oo Movie digital IS will not function when the lens’s optical Image Stabilizer switch
is set to <2>.
oo Although movies can also be recorded with Movie digital IS when using EF-S
lenses or movie cropping, the shooting area is further reduced.
oo With a lens whose focal length is longer than 800 mm, Movie digital IS will not
function.
oo Stabilization by Movie digital IS may be less effective at some movie recording
sizes.
oo The wider the angle of view (wide angle), the more effective the image
stabilization will be. The narrower the angle of view (telephoto), the less
effective the image stabilization will be.
oo When using a tripod, setting Movie digital IS to [Disable] is recommended.
oo Depending on the subject and shooting conditions, the subject may blur
noticeably (the subject momentarily looks out of focus) due to the effects of
the Movie digital IS.
oo When using a TS-E lens, fish-eye lens, or non-Canon lens, setting Movie
digital IS to [Disable] is recommended.
oo Since Movie digital IS magnifies the image, the image looks more grainy.
Noise, dots of light, etc. may also become noticeable.
oo Certain lenses do not support Movie digital IS. For details, refer to the Canon
website.
oo For details on lenses compatible with Combination IS, visit the Canon website.
oo “+” is added to the Movie digital IS icon (=260) when a lens compatible with
Combination IS is used.
261
Recording Time-lapse Movies
Still photos shot at a set interval can be stitched together automatically to
create a 4K or Full HD time-lapse movie. A time-lapse movie shows how
a subject changes in a much shorter period of time than the actual time
it took. It is effective for a fixed-point observation of changing scenery,
growing plants, celestial motion, etc.
Time-lapse movies will be recorded in MP4 format at the following
quality: H6W (NTSC)/H5W (PAL) for 4K shooting, and L
6 W (NTSC)/L 5 W (PAL) for Full HD shooting.
Note that the frame rate will be switched automatically according to the [5:

General Video Snapshot Precautions

oo No sound is recorded when you set [Playback effect] to [1/2x speed] or [2x

oo Recording time per video snapshot is only approximate. It may differ slightly
from the actual recording time indicated during playback, due to the frame rate
and other factors.
279
Setting Movie Servo AF
With this function enabled, the camera focuses on the subject continuously
during movie recording.
1Select [z: Movie Servo AF].
2Select [Enable].
zzWhen [Enable] is set:

The camera focuses on the subject continuously even when you are
not pressing the shutter button halfway.
To keep the focus at a specific position, or if you prefer not to record
mechanical sounds from the lens, you can temporarily stop Movie
Servo AF by touching [Z] in the lower left of the screen.
When Movie Servo AF is paused, if you return to movie recording after
operations such as pressing the <M> or <x> button or changing
the AF method, Movie Servo AF will resume.
zzWhen [Disable] is set:
Press the shutter button halfway or press the button to focus.
280
Cautions When [Movie Servo AF] is Set to [Enable]

oo Recording Conditions that Make Focusing Difficult
• A fast-moving subject approaching or moving away from the camera.
• A subject moving at a close distance to the camera.
• When shooting with a higher f/number.
• Also see “Shooting Conditions that Make Focusing Difficult” on =197.
oo Since the lens is driven continuously and the battery power is consumed, the
possible movie recording time (=586) will be shortened.
oo If AF operations are performed or you control the camera or lens during movie
recording, the camera’s built-in microphone may also record mechanical
sounds of the lens or sounds of camera/lens operations. In this case, using
an external microphone may reduce these sounds. If the sounds are still
distracting with an external microphone, it may be more effective to remove
the external microphone from the camera and position it away from the
camera and lens.
oo Movie Servo AF will pause during zooming or magnified view.
oo During movie recording, if a subject approaches or moves away or if the
camera is moved vertically or horizontally (panning), the recorded movie
image may momentarily expand or contract (change in image magnification).
281
Movie Servo AF Track Sensitivity

You can adjust the tracking sensitivity (to one of seven levels), which affects
responsiveness if the subject strays from the AF point during Movie Servo
AF, as when interfering objects move across AF points or when you pan.
1Select
sens.].
[z: Movie Servo AF track
zz Locked on: –3/–2/–1

With this setting, the camera is less
likely to track a different subject if the
main subject strays from the AF point.
The closer the setting is to the minus (–)
symbol, the less the camera is inclined
to track a different subject. It is effective
when you want to prevent the AF points
from rapidly tracking something that is
not the intended subject during panning
or when an obstacle cuts across the AF
points.
Responsive: +1/+2/+3
This makes the camera more responsive when tracking a subject that
covers the AF point. The closer the setting is to the plus (+) symbol,
the more responsive the camera is. It is effective when you want
to keep tracking a moving subject as its distance from the camera
changes or to rapidly focus on another subject.
oo Has no effect (setting is disabled) when 4K movie recording is set.
oo Available when [z: Movie Servo AF] is set to [Enable] and [z: AF
method] is set to [1-point AF].
oo Operation when [z: AF method] is set to an option other than [1-point AF]
is equivalent to a setting of [0].
282
Movie Servo AF Speed

You can set the Movie Servo AF’s AF speed and its operation conditions.
The function is enabled when using a lens supporting slow focus transition
during movie recording*.
1Select [z: Movie Servo AF speed].
zz When active:
You can set [Always on] to have the AF
speed take effect at all times for movie
recording (before and during movie
recording) or set [During shooting]
to have the AF speed take effect only
during movie recording.
zz AF speed:
You can adjust the AF speed (focus
transition speed) from the standard
speed (0) to slow (one of seven levels)
or fast (one of two levels) to obtain the
desired effect for the movie creation.
* Lenses supporting slow focus transition during movie

recording
USM and STM lenses released in and after 2009 are compatible. For
details, refer to the Canon website.
283
oo With certain lenses, even if you adjust the AF speed, the speed may not
change.
oo Has no effect (setting is disabled) when 4K movie recording is set.
oo Available when [z: Movie Servo AF] is set to [Enable] and [z: AF
method] is set to [1-point AF].
oo Operation when [z: AF method] is set to an option other than [1-point AF]
is equivalent to setting [AF speed] to [Standard (0)].
oo An asterisk to the right of [z: Movie Servo AF speed] indicates that the
default setting has been modified.

General Movie Recording Cautions
Red <E> Internal Temperature Warning Icon
oo If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged movie
recording or under a high ambient temperature, a red <E> icon will appear.
oo The red <E> icon indicates that movie recording will soon be terminated
automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the
camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the
camera rest for a while.
oo Recording a movie at a high temperature for a prolonged period will cause the
red <E> icon to appear earlier. When you are not shooting, always turn off
the camera.
Recording and Image Quality
oo If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image Stabilizer
(IS) switch to <1>, the Image Stabilizer will operate at all times even if
you do not press the shutter button halfway. The Image Stabilizer consumes
battery power and may shorten the total movie recording time depending on
the shooting conditions. When the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, such as
when using a tripod, it is recommended that you set the IS switch to <2>.
oo If the brightness changes as you record a movie with auto exposure, the
movie may appear to stop momentarily. In this case, record movies with
manual exposure.
oo If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may appear
black on the screen. Movies are recorded almost exactly as they appear on
the screen.
oo Image noise or irregular colors may occur when shooting at high ISO speeds,
high temperatures, low shutter speeds, or under low light. Movies are recorded
almost exactly as they appear on the screen, except in time-lapse movie
recording.
oo If you play back a movie with other devices, image or sound quality may
decline or playback may not be possible (even if the devices support MP4
format).
291
General Movie Recording Cautions
Recording and Image Quality

oo If you use a card with a slow writing speed, an indicator
may appear on the right of the screen during movie
recording. It indicates how much data has not yet been
written to the card (remaining capacity of the internal
buffer memory). The slower the card, the faster the
indicator will climb upward. If the indicator (1) becomes
(1)
full, movie recording will stop automatically.
oo If the card has a fast writing speed, the indicator will
either not appear or the level (if displayed) will hardly go upward. First, shoot a
few test movies to see if the card can write fast enough.
oo If the indicator indicates that the card is full and movie recording stops
automatically, the sound near the end of the movie may not be recorded
properly.
oo If the card’s writing speed is slow (due to fragmentation) and the indicator
appears, formatting the card may make the writing speed faster.
Audio Restrictions
oo Note that the following restrictions apply when [Movie rec. size] is set to
L6V (NTSC) or L5V (PAL), when [8C.Fn III-9: Audio
compression] is set to [Enable], and for HDR movies.
• Sound will not be recorded for approx. the last two frames.
• When you play back movies on Windows, movie images and sound may
become slightly out of synchronization.

effect is difficult to discern, magnify the image (=299).
zz[73] Image quality (=116)
You can set the image quality when creating a JPEG image. Note that
only 73/83/b are available for RAW images captured in cropped
shooting or with EF-S lenses.
328
zz[ ] Color space (=147)

You can select either sRGB or Adobe RGB. Since the camera screen is
not compatible with Adobe RGB, the difference in the image will hardly be
perceptible when either color space is set.
zz[ ] Lens aberration correction
[ ] Peripheral illumination correction (=124)
A phenomenon that makes the image corners look darker due to the
lens characteristics can be corrected. If [Enable] is set, the corrected
image will be displayed. If the effect is difficult to discern, magnify
the image (=299) and check the four corners. The peripheral
illumination correction applied with the camera will be less pronounced
than that applied with the Digital Photo Professional (EOS software)
at maximum correction amount. If the effects of correction are not
apparent, use Digital Photo Professional to apply the peripheral
illumination correction.
[ ] Distortion correction (=124)
Image distortion due to lens characteristics can be corrected. If
[Enable] is set, the corrected image will be displayed. The image
periphery will be trimmed in the corrected image.
Since the image resolution may look slightly lower, adjust the
sharpness with the Picture Style’s [Sharpness] parameter setting as
necessary.
[ ] Digital Lens Optimizer (=125)
Correct lens aberration, diffraction, and low-pass filter-induced loss
of sharpness by applying optical design values. Magnify images
(=299) to check the effects of setting this option to [Enable].
Without magnification, the effect of Digital Lens Optimizer is not
displayed. Selecting [Enable] corrects both chromatic aberration and
diffraction, although these options are not displayed.
329
[ ] Chromatic aberration correction (=126)

Chromatic aberrations (color fringing along the subject’s outline) due
to the lens characteristics can be corrected. If [Enable] is set, the
corrected image will be displayed. If the effect is difficult to discern,
magnify the image (=299).
[ ] Diffraction correction (=126)
The diffraction by the lens aperture degrading the image sharpness
can be corrected. If [Enable] is set, the corrected image will be
displayed. If the effect is difficult to discern, magnify the image
(=299).
oo Processing RAW images in the camera will not produce exactly the same
results as processing RAW images with Digital Photo Professional (EOS
software).
oo If you perform [Brightness adjustment], noise, banding, etc. may be
intensified with the effects of adjustment.
oo When [Digital Lens Optimizer] is set, noise may be intensified together with
the effects of correction. Image edges may also be emphasized. Adjust Picture
Style sharpness or set [Digital Lens Optimizer] to [Disable], as needed.
oo The effect of the lens aberration correction varies depending on the lens used
and shooting conditions. Also, the effect may be difficult to discern depending
on the lens used, shooting conditions, etc.

Creating and Selecting a Folder
You can freely create and select the folder where the captured images are
to be saved.
Creating a Folder
1Select [5: Select folder].
2Select [Create folder].
3Select [OK].

Creating and Selecting a Folder
Selecting a Folder
(1) (2) zz Select a folder on the folder selection
screen.
zz Captured images are stored in your
selected folder.
(1) Number of images in folder

(2) Lowest file number
(3) Folder name
(3) (4) (4) Highest file number
Folders
oo A folder can contain up to 9999 images (file number 0001–9999). When a
folder becomes full, a new folder with the folder number increased by one
is created automatically. Also, if manual reset (=365) is executed, a new
folder will be created automatically. Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can be
created.
Creating Folders with a Computer
oo With the card open on the screen, create a new folder named “DCIM”. Open
the DCIM folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and
organize your images. The folder name must follow the format “100ABC_D”.
The first three digits are always the folder number from 100 to 999. The last
five characters can be any combination of upper- and lower-case letters from
A to Z, numerals, and the underscore “_”. The space cannot be used. Also
note that two folder names cannot share the same three-digit folder number (for
example, “100ABC_D” and “100W_XYZ”) even if the remaining five characters
in each name are different.
362
File Numbering Methods
The captured images saved in a folder are
assigned a file number from 0001 to 9999. (Example) IMG_0001.JPG
You can change how the image files are
numbered. File number
1Select [5: File numbering].
2Set the item.

zz Select [Numbering].
zz Select [Continuous] or [Auto reset].
zz If you want to reset the file numbering,

select [Manual reset] (=365).
zz Select [OK] to create a new folder, and
the file number will start with 0001.
oo If the file number in folder 999 reaches 9999, shooting will not be possible
even if the card still has storage capacity. The screen will display a message
telling you to replace the card. Replace it with a new card.
363
Continuous
When you wish to continue the file numbering sequence even after the
card is replaced or a new folder is created.
Even after you replace the card or create a new folder, the file numbering
continues in sequence up to 9999. This is useful when you want to save
images numbered anywhere between 0001 to 9999 on multiple cards or in
multiple folders into one folder on a computer.
If the replacement card or existing folder already contains images recorded
previously, the file numbering of the new images may continue from the file
numbering of the existing images on the card or in the folder. If you want
to use continuous file numbering, it is recommended that you use a newly-
formatted card each time.

Auto Reset
When you wish to restart the file numbering from 0001 each time the
card is replaced or a new folder is created.
When you replace the card or create a folder, the file numbering restarts
from 0001 for the new images saved. This is useful if you want to organize
images by cards or folders.
If the replacement card or existing folder already contains images recorded
previously, the file numbering of the new images may continue from the file
numbering of the existing images on the card or in the folder. If you want
to save images with the file numbering starting from 0001, use a newly
formatted card each time.

Manual Reset
When you wish to reset the file numbering to 0001 or to start from file
number 0001 in a new folder.
When you reset the file numbering manually, a new folder is created
automatically and the file numbering of images saved to that folder starts
from 0001.
This is useful, for example, if you want to use different folders for the images
taken yesterday and the ones taken today.

oo If a picture is taken while the camera is pointing up or down, automatic rotation

to the proper orientation for viewing may not be performed correctly.
oo If images are not rotated automatically on a computer, try using EOS software.
366
Formatting Memory Cards
If the card is new or was previously formatted (initialized) by another camera
or computer, format the card with this camera.
oo When the card is formatted, all images and data on the card will be
erased. Even protected images will be erased, so make sure there is
nothing you need to keep. If necessary, transfer the images and data to a
computer, etc. before formatting the card.
1Select [5: Format card].

zz Select [OK].
zz For low-level formatting, press the <L>

button to add a checkmark <X> to [Low
level format], then select [OK].

Formatting Memory Cards
Format the Card in the Following Cases:

zz The card is new.
zz The card was formatted by a different camera or a computer.
zz The card is full of images or data.
zz A card-related error is displayed (=581).
Low-Level Formatting
zz Perform low-level formatting if the card’s writing or reading speed seems
slow or if you want to totally erase the data on the card.
zz Since low-level formatting will format all recordable sectors on the card,
the formatting will take longer than normal formatting.
zz During low-level formatting, you can cancel formatting by selecting
[Cancel]. Even in this case, normal formatting will already be complete
and you can use the card as usual.
Card’s File Formats
zz SD/SDHC cards will be formatted in FAT32. SDXC cards will be
formatted in exFAT.
zz When recording a movie with a card formatted in exFAT, the movie will be
recorded in a single file (instead of being split into multiple files) even if it
exceeds 4 GB. (The movie file will exceed 4 GB.)
oo It may not be possible to use SDXC cards formatted with this camera in other
cameras. Also note that exFAT-formatted cards may not be recognized by
some computer operating systems or card readers.
oo Formatting or erasing data on a card does not completely erase the data. Be
aware of this when selling or discarding the card. When disposing of cards,
take steps to protect personal information if necessary, as by physically
destroying cards.

Wireless Communication Function Notes
If the transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems
occur when using the wireless communication functions, try the following
corrective actions.
Distance Between the Camera and the Smartphone

If the camera is too far from the smartphone, a Wi-Fi connection may not
be established even when Bluetooth connection is possible. In this case,
bring the camera and the smartphone closer together, then establish a Wi-
Fi connection.
Installation Location of Access Point Antenna

zz When using indoors, install the device in the room where you are using
the camera.
zz Install the device where people or objects do not come between the
device and the camera.
Nearby Electronic Devices

If the Wi-Fi transmission rate drops because of the influence of the following
electronic devices, stop using them or move further away from the devices
to transmit communication.
zz The camera communicates over Wi-Fi via IEEE 802.11b/g/n using radio
waves in the 2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the Wi-Fi transmission
rate will drop if there are Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens, cordless
telephones, microphones, smartphones, other cameras, or similar
devices operating on the same frequency band nearby.
Cautions for Using Multiple Cameras

zz When connecting multiple cameras to one access point via Wi-Fi, make
sure the cameras’ IP addresses are different.
zz When multiple cameras are connected to one access point via Wi-Fi, the
transmission rate drops.
zz When there are multiple IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz band) access points,
leave a gap of five channels between each Wi-Fi channel to reduce radio
wave interference. For example, use channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2
and 7, or channels 3 and 8.
511
Wireless Communication Function Notes
Using the Wireless Remote Control BR-E1

zz When [Bluetooth function] is set to [Remote] to use the Wireless
Remote Control BR-E1, the camera cannot be connected to a
smartphone via Bluetooth.
512
Security
If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems may
occur.
zzTransmission monitoring
Third parties with malicious intent may monitor the Wi-Fi transmissions
and attempt to acquire the data you are sending.
zzUnauthorized network access
Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to
the network you are using to steal, modify, or destroy information.
Additionally, you could fall victim to other types of unauthorized access
such as impersonation (where someone assumes an identity to gain
access to unauthorized information) or springboard attacks (where
someone gains unauthorized access to your network as a springboard to
cover their tracks when infiltrating other systems).
It is recommended to make use of the systems and functions to thoroughly

secure your network, preventing these types of problems from occurring.

528
C.Fn I-6: Safety shift

If the subject brightness changes and the standard exposure cannot be
obtained within the autoexposure range, the camera will automatically
change the manually selected setting to obtain the standard exposure.
When set to [Shutter speed/Aperture], this setting applies to <s> and
<f> mode. When set to [ISO speed], this setting applies to <d>, <s>,
and <f> mode.
zz 0: Disable
zz 1: Shutter speed/Aperture
zz 2: ISO speed
oo Under [z: zISO speed settings], even if [ISO speed range] or [Min.
shutter spd.] is changed from the default setting, safety shift will override it if
the standard exposure cannot be obtained.
oo The minimum and maximum limits for the safety shift with the ISO speed are
determined by [Auto range] (=134). However, if the manually set ISO
speed exceeds the [Auto range], the safety shift will take effect up or down to
the manually set ISO speed.
oo Safety shift will take effect as necessary even when flash is used.
C.Fn I-7: AE lock metering mode after focus

For each metering mode, you can specify
whether to lock the exposure (AE lock)
once subjects are in focus with One-Shot
AF. The exposure will be locked while you
keep pressing the shutter button halfway.
Select metering modes for AE lock and add
a checkmark [X]. Select [OK] to register
the setting.
529
C.Fn II: Autofocus
C.Fn II-1: Tracking sensitivity

You can set the subject-tracking sensitivity, which affects responsiveness to
interfering objects that move across AF points or subjects that stray from AF
points during Servo AF.
zz 0
Standard setting. Suitable for moving subjects in general.
zz Locked on: –2 / Locked on: –1
The camera will try to continue focusing on the subject even if an obstacle
cuts across the AF points or if the subject strays from the AF points. The
–2 setting makes the camera keep tracking the target subject longer than
the –1 setting.
However, if the camera focuses on a wrong subject, it may take slightly
longer to switch and focus on the target subject.
zz Responsive: +2 / Responsive: +1
The camera can focus consecutively on subjects at different distances
that are covered by the AF points. Also effective when you want to always
focus on the closest subject. The +2 setting is more responsive than the
+1 setting when focusing on the next subject.
However, the camera will be more prone to focus on an unintended
subject.
530
C.Fn II-2: Acceleration/deceleration tracking

Sets the Servo AF tracking sensitivity for subjects that change speed
suddenly, as by suddenly moving or stopping.
zz 0
Suited for subjects that move at a steady speed (minor changes in
moving speed).
zz –2 / –1
Suited for subjects that move at a steady speed (minor changes in
moving speed). Effective when a setting of 0 makes focus unstable, due
to slight subject movement or an obstruction in front of the subject.
zz +2 / +1
Effective for subjects having sudden movements, sudden acceleration/
deceleration, or sudden stops. Even if the moving subject’s speed
suddenly changes dramatically, the camera continues to focus on
the target subject. For example, the camera is less likely to focus
behind a subject that suddenly starts approaching you, or in front of an
approaching subject that suddenly stops moving. Setting +2 can track
dramatic changes in the moving subject’s speed better than with +1.
However, since the camera will be sensitive to even slight movements of
the subject, focusing may become unstable for short periods.
531
C.Fn II-3: AF point auto switching

This sets the switching sensitivity of the AF points as they track the subject
moving dramatically up, down, left, or right.
Takes effect when [z: AF method] is set to [u+Tracking], [Expand AF
area: Z], [Expand AF area: Around], or [Zone AF].
zz 0
Standard setting for gradual AF point switching.
zz +2 / +1
Even if the target subject moves dramatically up, down, left, or right
and moves away from the AF point, the camera switches its focus to
neighboring AF points to continue focusing on the subject. The camera
switches to the AF point deemed most likely to focus on the subject
based on the subject’s continual movement, contrast, etc. Setting +2
makes the camera more prone to switch the AF point than with +1.
However, with a wide-angle lens having a wide depth of field or if
the subject is too small in the frame, the camera may focus with an
unintended AF point.
532
C.Fn II-4: Lens drive when AF impossible

You can specify lens operation in cases when the camera cannot autofocus
on a subject.
zz 0: Continue focus search
If focus cannot be achieved with autofocus, the lens is driven to search
for the precise focus.
zz 1: Stop focus search
If autofocus starts and the focus is far off or if focus cannot be achieved,
the lens drive will not be performed. This prevents the lens from
becoming grossly out of focus due to the focus search drive.
oo [1: Stop focus search] is recommended for super telephoto lenses or other
lens that cover a large area, to avoid significant delay from focus search drive
if the lens becomes greatly out of focus.
C.Fn II-5: Limit AF methods

You can limit the AF methods available to
those that you will use.
For details on AF methods, see =188–
=190.
Add a checkmark [X] to the AF methods to
make available. Select [OK] to register the
setting.
oo The [X] mark cannot be removed from [1-point AF].
533
C.Fn II-6: Orientation linked AF point

You can assign AF points or Zone AF frames to different positions based on
whether you are shooting vertically or horizontally.
zz 0: Same for both vertic./horiz.
AF points or Zone AF frames in the same position are used for both
vertical and horizontal shooting.
zz 1: Separate AF pts: pt only
Separate AF point or Zone AF frame positions can be assigned for
each camera orientation (1. Horizontal, 2. Vertical with the camera grip
above, 3. Vertical with the camera grip below). Useful when switching to
AF points or Zone AF frames in other positions automatically based on
camera orientation.
AF points or Zone AF frames assigned to each of the three camera
orientations are retained.
534
C.Fn II-7: Initial Servo AF pt for c

You can set the initial AF point for Servo AF when the AF method is set to
[u+Tracking].
zz 0: Automatic
The initial AF point of Servo AF for [u+Tracking] is set automatically to
suit the shooting conditions.
zz 1: Initial AF pt set for c
Servo AF starts from the manually set AF point when AF operation is set
to [Servo AF] and the AF method is set to [u+Tracking].
zz 2: AF pt set for
If you switch from Spot AF, 1-point AF, Expand AF area :Z, or Expand AF
area: Around to [u+Tracking], Servo AF starts from the manually set AF
point. Useful for starting Servo AF from the AF point set before switching
to [u+Tracking].
535
C.Fn III: Operation/Others
C.Fn III-1: Dial direction during Tv/Av

Dial turning direction when setting the shutter speed and aperture can be
reversed.
In the <a> shooting mode, the turning direction of the <6> and <5>
dials will be reversed. In other shooting modes, the turning direction of only
the <6> dial will be reversed. The direction of the <5> dial in <a>
mode matches the direction to set exposure compensation in <d>, <s>,
and <f> modes.

564
Troubleshooting
Shooting-Related Problems
The lens cannot be attached.

zz To attach EF or EF-S lenses, you will need a mount adapter. The camera
cannot be used with EF-M lenses.
No images can be shot or recorded.

zz Make sure the card is properly inserted (=42).
zz Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the Write/Erase setting (=42).
zz If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make
space (=42, =314).
zz Shooting is not possible if the AF point turns orange when you attempt to
focus. Press the shutter button halfway again to refocus automatically, or
focus manually (=54, =214).
The card cannot be used.

zz If a card error message is displayed, see =44 or =581.
An error message is displayed when the card is inserted in

another camera.
zz Since SDXC cards are formatted in exFAT, if you format a card with this
camera and then insert it into another camera, an error may be displayed
and it may not be possible to use the card.
565
Troubleshooting
The image is out of focus or blurred.

zz Set the lens’s focus mode switch to <AF> (=48, =51).
zz Press the shutter button gently to prevent camera shake (=54).
zz With a lens equipped with an Image Stabilizer, set the IS switch to <1>.
zz In low light, the shutter speed may become slow. Use a faster shutter
speed (=98), set a higher ISO speed (=131), use flash (=222),
or use a tripod.
zz See “Minimizing Blurred Photos” on =70.
I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot.

zz Set the AF operation to One-Shot AF. Shooting with the focus locked is
not possible with Servo AF (=71, =185).
The continuous shooting speed is slow.

zz The continuous shooting speed for high-speed continuous shooting
may be lower, depending on conditions such as these: battery level,
temperature, flicker reduction, shutter speed, aperture, subject conditions,
brightness, AF operation, type of lens, use of flash, and shooting settings
(=208).
566
Troubleshooting
The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower.

zz If you shoot a subject that has fine detail such as a field of grass, the file
size will be larger, and the actual maximum burst may be lower than the
number listed on =583.
Even after I change the card, the maximum burst displayed for
continuous shooting does not change.
zz The maximum burst displayed does not change when you switch cards,
even if you switch to a high-speed card. The maximum burst shown in
the table on =583 is based on Canon’s testing card. (The faster the
card’s writing speed, the higher the actual maximum burst will be.) For
this reason, the maximum burst displayed may differ from the actual
maximum burst.
High-speed display is not available during high-speed

continuous shooting.
zz Refer to the high-speed display requirements on =181.
Some image quality options are not available with cropped

shooting.
zz 74/84/7a/8a image quality options are not available when [1.6x
(crop)] is set, or with EF-S lenses.
The aspect ratio cannot be set.

zz With EF-S lenses, [1.6x (crop)] is set automatically, and no other aspect
ratios are available.
567
Troubleshooting
ISO 100 cannot be set. ISO speed expansion cannot be selected.

zz Check the [ISO speed range] setting under [z: zISO speed
settings].
zz When [z: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable] or [Enhanced],
the available ISO speed range is ISO 200–40000 for still photo shooting.
Even if you set [ISO speed range] under [z: ISO speed settings] to
expand the setting range, you cannot select L (equivalent to ISO 50), H1
(equivalent to ISO 51200), or H2 (equivalent to ISO 102400). When [z:
Highlight tone priority] is set to [Disable] (=137), you can set ISO
100/125/160, L, or H1/H2.
Even if I set a decreased exposure compensation, the image

comes out bright.
zz Set [z: Auto Lighting Optimizer] to [Disable] (=136). When [Low],
[Standard], or [High] is set, even if you set a decreased exposure
compensation or flash exposure compensation, the image may come out
bright.
I cannot set the exposure compensation when both manual

exposure and ISO Auto are set.
zz See =103 to set the exposure compensation.
Not all the lens aberration correction options are displayed.

zz Although [Chromatic aberr corr] and [Diffraction correction] are
not displayed when [Digital Lens Optimizer] is set to [Enable], both
functions are applied in shooting, as when set to [Enable].
zz During movie recording, [Digital Lens Optimizer] or [Diffraction
correction] will not be displayed.
568
Troubleshooting
Using flash in <f> or <d> mode lowers the shutter speed.

zz Under [z: External Speedlite control], set [Slow synchro] to [1/180-
1/60sec. auto] or [1/180 sec. (fixed)] (=224).
The flash does not fire.

zz Make sure the flash is securely attached to the camera.
The flash always fires at full output.

zz Flash units other than EL/EX series Speedlites used in autoflash mode
always fire at full output (=221).
zz When the flash Custom Function setting for [Flash metering mode] is
set to [TTL] (autoflash), the flash will always fire at full output (=230).
Flash exposure compensation cannot be set.

zz If flash exposure compensation is already set with the Speedlite, flash
exposure compensation cannot be set with the camera. When the
external Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation is canceled (set to 0),
flash exposure compensation can be set with the camera.
569
Troubleshooting
High-speed sync cannot be set in <f> or <d> mode.

zz Under [z: External Speedlite control], set [Slow synchro] to [1/180-
30sec. auto] or [1/180-1/60sec. auto] (=224).
Remote control shooting is not possible.

zz When taking still photos, set the drive mode to <Q> or <k> (=209).
When recording movies, set [z: Remote control] to [Enable] (=285).
zz Check the position of the remote control’s release timing switch.
zz If you are using Wireless Remote Control BR-E1, see =217 or =399.
zz To use a remote control for time-lapse movie recording, see =273.
A white s or red E icon is displayed during shooting.

zz It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. Image quality
of still photos may be worse when a white <s> icon is displayed. If
a red <E> icon is displayed, it indicates that shooting will soon stop
During movie recording, the red E icon is displayed.

zz It indicates that the camera’s internal temperature is high. If the red <E>
icon is displayed, it indicates that the movie recording will soon stop
570
Troubleshooting
Movie recording stops by itself.

zz If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie recording may stop
automatically. For cards that can record movies, see =585. To find out
the card’s writing speed, refer to the card manufacturer’s website, etc.
zz If you shoot a movie for 29 min. 59 sec., the movie recording will stop
automatically.
The ISO speed cannot be set for movie recording.

zz In shooting modes other than [M], the ISO speed is set automatically. In
[M] mode, you can manually set the ISO speed (=589).
ISO 100 cannot be set or ISO speed expansion cannot be

selected during movie recording.
zz Check the [ISO speed range] and [Range for H] setting under [z:
kISO speed settings].
zz When [z: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], the available ISO
speed range starts at ISO 200. Expanded ISO speed cannot be selected
even if you set an expanded range for [ISO speed range] or [Range
for H] under [z: kISO speed settings]. When [z: Highlight tone
priority] is set to [Disable] (=137), you can set ISO 100/125/160 or an
expanded ISO speed.
571
Troubleshooting
The exposure changes during movie recording.

zz If you change the shutter speed or aperture during movie recording, the
changes in the exposure may be recorded.
zz Shooting a few test movies is recommended if you intend to perform
zooming during movie recording. Zooming as you record movies may
cause exposure changes or lens sounds to be recorded, an uneven audio
level, or loss of focus.
The image flickers or horizontal stripes appear during movie

recording.
zz Flickering, horizontal stripes (noise), or irregular exposures can be
caused by fluorescent lighting, LED lighting, or other light sources during
movie recording. Also, changes in the exposure (brightness) or color
tone may be recorded. In [M] mode, a slow shutter speed may reduce
the problem. The problem may be more noticeable in time-lapse movie
recording.
The subject looks distorted during movie recording.

zz If you move the camera to the left or right (panning) or shoot a moving
subject, the image may look distorted. The problem may be more
noticeable in time-lapse movie recording.
I cannot take still photos during movie recording.

zz Still photos cannot be taken during movie recording. Before taking still
photos, stop recording the movie, then select a shooting mode for still
photos.

zz For Full HD/HD movies, ISO speed is automatically set in a range of ISO
100–25600.
zz For 4K movies, ISO speed is automatically set in a range of ISO 100–
12800.
zz Under [z: kISO speed settings], setting [Max for Auto] or [H Max
for Auto] to [H2(102400)] (=286) expands the maximum limit of the
automatic ISO speed setting range to H2 (equivalent to ISO 102400). You
can lower the maximum value to narrow the automatic ISO speed setting
range.
zz With [z: Highlight tone priority] set to [Enable] (=137), the
automatic ISO speed setting range is ISO 200–25600 for Full HD/HD
movies and ISO 200–12800 for 4K movies.
588
Performance Data
In [M] Mode
zz For Full HD/HD movies with ISO speed set to [AUTO], ISO speed is
automatically set in a range of ISO 100–25600.
zz For 4K movies with ISO speed set to [AUTO], ISO speed is automatically
set in a range of ISO 100–12800.
zz When setting ISO Auto, setting [Max for Auto] or [H Max for Auto]
under [z: kISO speed settings] to [H2(102400)] (=286) expands
the maximum limit of the automatic ISO speed setting range to H2
(equivalent to ISO 102400). You can lower the maximum value to narrow
the automatic ISO speed setting range.
zz You can set the ISO speed manually in a range of ISO 100–25600 for
Full HD/HD movies and ISO 100–12800 for 4K movies. Note that under
[z: kISO speed settings], setting [ISO speed range] or [Range for
H] to [H2(102400)] (=286) expands the maximum limit of the manual
ISO speed setting range to H2 (equivalent to ISO 102400). Note that you
can also set the [Maximum] and [Minimum] to a range narrower than
the default range.
zz If [z: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable] (=137), the
automatic and manual ISO speed setting range’s minimum limit will be
ISO 200. Even when ISO speed expansion is set, the maximum limit will
